If he did he not only wouldn’t be Reggie, .. he’d wouldn’t resemble most humans.

I think Reggie is wrong in general, .. shouldn’t have named names, .. AND he only fed the notion that he’s a self centered clown. But at least he fessed up about it so lets move on.

God help me if more people took note of the idiotic crap I said from time to time. I’d get more than the run of the mill thumbs down I’d bet.

Fri, 13 Jul 2012 00:46:08 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=180929#comment-328844Poor Reggie. In spite of being a HOF player, having a great career, made bazillions of dollars, WS hero, Howard Cosell’s favorite pro athlete to wax poetic about after Muhammad Ali, all that… he still needs NYY to feel relevant, and still needs NYY to feel as if what he thinks and says is important. Case of arrested development, I’d say. Move on to the rest of your life, Reggie. Baseball’s over, and so are the days of reporters sticking a mike in your face a few times a day. Everyone’s long since stopped caring about what you think.

Fri, 13 Jul 2012 00:29:56 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=180929#comment-328838Agreed. Funny how he rarely associates himself with the Oakland A’s. He could do a lot for that club but he’s a front runner. Go away old man.

“I said these things because I’m Reggie F(&**(^&%$#$%%^^g Jackson”. I am sorry that you couldn’t take my outrageous opinions.” “The people I named will still be my friends because I’m Reggie F*&^%%$*&^%^#@$@g Jackson, and that’s the way I roll.”

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 22:31:38 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=180929#comment-328786I am a lifelong Yankees fan-about 56 years, and Reggie Jackson is not a Yankee. Billy Martrin was a Yankee, albiet flawed, he was a Yankee thru and thru. Reggie Jackson should never have been allowed to go into the HOF in a Yankee uniform. He was the cancer in the clubhouse as opposed to “the straw that stirs the drink” F@&k Reggie and the horse he rode in on.
Maybe now he will just go lay down…30 years way too late.

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 21:22:04 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=180929#comment-328759Seriously??? He took it upon himself? Had nothing to do with “The Ban”. Also, not much of an apology. The only thing he is sorry about is NOT talking about them behind thier back. He didn’t say he didn’t really feel this way, but rather “I made the mistake of naming specific players”.

I made the mistake of naming some specific players.

Holy crap someone actually took it up himself to apologize, and not use the “sorry if you were offended” crap that seems so prevalent in today’s society.
